RE: SSL Connection Problems in Windows Live Mail

There is a long-standing error in the data used by WLMail to configure BT
accounts. This should fix it:

Right-click on the account name in the Folder pane and select Properties.
On the Servers tab, tick the box for 'My server requires authentication'.
On the Advanced tab, untick the box for 'This server requires a secure
connection (SSL)'.

This solution worked excellently for my problem. Windows live mail was comming up with ssl errors similar to the above. I followed these simple steps and it worked straight away. Personally i would suggest switching to Mozilla Thunderbird for web client as it seems sleeker less bulky and seems to have more functionality. thanks for your solution

This solution worked for me with Sky email errors in windows live mail. I suggest switching to Thunderbird in future.
